Squirrelman: Seattle bound

The Needle spent a quite bit of time with David Csaky, aka Squirrelman, back in April.

Back then, he faced eviction from his hand-built treehouse on city-managed property. As a result of the media attention, Csaky received an aging motorhome and permission to park it on a plot of land in Skagit County.

That was the good news.

The subsequent bad news is that his efforts to rejoin the working world in a more serious way have stalled as he’s tried to reclaim and recreate enough paperwork to establish sufficient proof of identification to meet Washington requirements to issue a photo ID.

(And no ID, no job.)

So, according to his friend Jill who owns the plot of land where Csaky lives, he’s headed back to Seattle by bus to protest what he sees as unfair treatment by authorities who won’t help.
